Attempting to take my love of poetry and try my hand at it myself-
she dreamed all the dreams
Her dreams weren’t the normal sort
Rather than flying through the clouds
And dancing in fields of flowers
Instead she dreamed of bigger things
And winning the Nobel prize
Though normal dreams were appealing
The girl knew what was more important
She knew if she dreamed the biggest dreams
And kept them in her heart
She would one day make these dreams her reality.
Feeding the poor and changing the world
She made her dream a reality
She graduated valedictory
She opened her firm, the best firm in the state
She made her dream a reality
Researching day and night
She found the cure for this awful disease
A disease so terrible people no longer dared to dream.
She won her Nobel peace prize
She made her dream a reality.
The young girl is all of us
Daring to dream big dreams
Making our dreams a reality.
No longer listening to what we can and can’t do
Dare to dream the biggest dreams
Dare to make them a reality
Find the young girl hidden deep inside your heart.
